The theme for this month’s meeting is Get Activated: How You Can Make A Difference

Each of our speakers will share how they became “activated” to make a difference.  They are:

Paul DiCarmine is PV dad raising two of PVPUSD’s youngest students. He and his wife are the founders of the Reasonable Parents of Palos Verdes, a non-partisan, grassroots group of PV parents, teachers, and school staff collaborating to ensure that PVPUSD policies are evidence-based and grounded in objective truth and reason.
